{1325} Primeδίδωμιdidomi{did'-o-mee}A prolonged form of a primary verb (which is used as an alternate in most of the tenses); to give (used in a very wide application, properly or by implication, literally or figuratively; greatly modified by the connection).

{0846} Primeαὐτόςautos{ow-tos'}From the particle αὖ [[au]] (perhaps akin to the base of G0109 through the idea of a baffling wind; backward); the reflexive pronoun self, used (alone or in the compound of G1438) of the third person, and (with the proper personal pronoun) of the other persons.

[0846] Standardαὐτόςautos{ow-tos'}From the particle αὖ [[au]] (perhaps akin to the base of G0109 through the idea of a baffling wind; backward); the reflexive pronoun self, used (alone or in the compound of G1438) of the third person, and (with the proper personal pronoun) of the other persons.

{4486} Primeῥήγνυμιrhegnumi{hrayg'-noo-mee}Both are prolonged forms of ῥήκω [[rheko]] (which appears only in certain forms, and is itself probably a strengthened form of ἄγνυμι [[agnumi]] (see in G2608)); to 'break', 'wreck' or 'crack', that is, (especially) to sunder (by separation of the parts; G2608 being its intensive (with the preposition in compounds), and G2352 a shattering to minute fragments; but not a reduction to the constituent particles, like G3089) or disrupt, lacerate; by implication to convulse (with spasms); figuratively to give vent to joyful emotions.

Matthew 7:6

_ _ Prostitution of Holy Things. The opposite extreme to that of censoriousness is here condemned  want of discrimination of character.

_ _ Give not that which is holy unto the dogs  savage or snarling haters of truth and righteousness.

_ _ neither cast ye your pearls before swine  the impure or coarse, who are incapable of appreciating the priceless jewels of Christianity. In the East, dogs are wilder and more gregarious, and, feeding on carrion and garbage, are coarser and fiercer than the same animals in the West. Dogs and swine, besides being ceremonially unclean, were peculiarly repulsive to the Jews, and indeed to the ancients generally.

_ _ lest they trample them under their feet  as swine do.

_ _ and turn again and rend you  as dogs do. Religion is brought into contempt, and its professors insulted, when it is forced upon those who cannot value it and will not have it. But while the indiscriminately zealous have need of this caution, let us be on our guard against too readily setting our neighbors down as dogs and swine, and excusing ourselves from endeavoring to do them good on this poor plea.

Matthew 7:6

Here is another instance of that transposition, where of the two things proposed, the latter is first treated of. Give not  to dogs  lest turning they rend you: Cast not  to swine  lest they trample them under foot. Yet even then, when the beam is cast out of thine own eye, Give not  That is, talk not of the deep things of God to those whom you know to be wallowing in sin. neither declare the great things God hath done for your soul to the profane, furious, persecuting wretches. Talk not of perfection, for instance, to the former; not of your experience to the latter. But our Lord does in nowise forbid us to reprove, as occasion is, both the one and the other.

Matthew 7:6

(2) Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your (a) pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

(2) The stiff-necked and stubborn enemies of the gospel are unworthy to have it preached unto them.

(a) A pearl is known among the Greeks for its oriental brightness: and a pearl was in ancient times greatly valued by the Latins: for a pearl that Cleopatra had was valued at two hundred and fifty thousand crowns: and the word is now borrowed from that, to signify the most precious heavenly doctrine.
